The Crowned Clown

3

This drama and its characters and events are all part of a fictional work.

4

There is no way for me to hide any longer

5

the reason why my heart flutters so.

6

I have come to love you, Your Majesty.

7

Your Majesty.

8

Your Majesty.

9

Your Majesty, are you okay?

10

I'm... fine.

11

Your Majesty.

12

I'm... fine.

13

Your Majesty.

14

I'm... fine.

15

Your Majesty, please hold your breath.

Episode 6

16

I already did, many times earlier, didn't I? It's useless.

17

Then, I'll have to use a last resort.

18

Extend your tongue out all the way.

19

And gather it up at the front while holding your breath.

20

Forget it.

21

Then, there is another method too.

22

Lie like this and pull your legs to your chest.

23

While holding your breath.

24

Eunuch Jo. Eunuch Jo.

25

Never mind. It'll probably stop on its own.

26

It's already been one branch hour (two hours). Shouldn't we summon the royal physician?

27

It's alright. It will stop soon.

28

Perhaps it is caused by me?

29

No! Definitely not!

30

The weather's been rather chilly so my body was probably startled.

31

Are you going to be alright?

32

Of course.

33

I wish to lie down, so may you return now.

34

I understand.

35

Then, I will leave.

36

Your Majesty, it stopped!

37

I think it ran its course.

38

Thank goodness.

39

I will have them prepare your sleeping wear right away.

40

The more days pass, the more I lie.

41

Your Highness, are you unwell?

42

No.

43

I just wish to distance myself slowly.

44

What?

45

Tonight, it seems both the moon and the stars are brighter than ever.

46

But there are so many clouds.

47

Joo Ho Geol

48

Joo Ho Geol

49

Good job.

50

Summon me whenever you need me again.

51

Father.

52

Father, I apologize for plotting something without your approval.

53

I thought that Joo Ho Geol needed to disappear in order to stop Chief Royal Secretary.

54

So this is evidence Joo Ho Geol is dead?

55

Yes.

56

You paid without even seeing a corpse?

57

How can you do your work so haphazardly?

58

I apologize.

59

Yi Gyeom, if you've started something, you need to see it to its end so you don't leave any secrets.

60

Mark my words.

61

Yes, Father.

62

I've come to love you, Your Majesty.

63

I've come to love you, Your Majesty.

64

I've come to love you, Your Majesty.

65

Why in the world?

66

Your Majesty?

67

Do you have some sort of problem?

68

How outrageous!

69

I apologize.

70

I merely thought that Your Majesty hadn't slept well.

71

I wasn't saying it to you.

72

I was just thinking of something else momentarily.

73

Eunuch Jo.

74

Do His Majesty and I really look so much alike?

75

Well, that...

76

I was startled the first time too, but when you returned upon being injured by the sword,

77

even I, myself, wonder if the real king has returned, at times.

78

I am fooled.

79

Fooled?

80

Fooled.

81

You are right.

82

It's not me. It's the king.

83

Your Majesty.

84

This is the path toward the queen's palace.

85

How did I end up here?

86

Your Majesty. The queen is coming.

87

Your Majesty, I was actually on my way to greet you.

88

By chance, are you on your way to visit me?

89

Actually, I was on my way to the side palace.

90

I was lost in thought and lost my way, it seems.

91

You appear a bit gaunt.

92

Did you have hiccups all night?

93

I've come to love you, Your Majesty.

94

Your Majesty?

95

No. It stopped right away.

96

I was confused, but then I thought of something while seeing you hiccup last night.

97

I plan to make the tea with ginseng you used to love when you were the crown prince.

98

It's effective for digestion too, so you will not suffer from hiccups again.

99

Please do so.

100

Then, I have urgent matters waiting, so ...

102

Hanseong Manor

(Hanseong was the former name of Seoul)

103

How is the preparation for tomorrow's morning audience?

104

The inspection found no issue with Haeyu Certificates.

105

We should see no trouble in finding the Minister of Finance, Lee Han Jong's crimes.

106

But it's that rascal Joo Ho Geol that worries me.

107

If somehow the chief royal secretary assigned him to find evidence of embezzlement,

108

then the power will flip over at once to our disadvantage.

109

Do not worry since that will never happen.

110

Is there still no contact from the chief royal secretary?

111

No, not yet.

112

I am sorry, Your Highness.

113

His Majesty is not present at his palace.

114

This is fresh ginger tea sent in by the queen.

115

It seems to have chilled, so shall I have it heated?

116

No. You may leave.

117

I can't eat ginger.

118

Was it when I was seven? I went with old man Gapsoo to a noble lord's manor.

119

I stole and ate a ginger biscuit and almost died from acute indigestion.

120

It was so pungent and at times I can still feel that spicy taste come up.

121

It was because it wasn't mine.

122

It's best not to lay a hand on

123

things that don't suit your body in the first place

124

since you can get sick.

125

I understand.

126

Then allow me to take the tea away.

127

You drink it in my stead at least, please.

128

What?

129

If I just send out this precious thing,

130

wouldn't the queen's sincerity be put to waste?

131

I think you stood at His Majesty's courtyard for too long.

132

I will take care of sending ginger tea to His Majesty from now on.

133

I think it's best to reduce your standing in the cold.

134

Thank you for your worry.

135

But I wish to present the ginger tea to His Majesty personally.

136

Shall I bring you tea to melt away the chill?

137

Yes.

138

- Left State Minister.

- Left State Minister.

139

Yes, Minister of Finance. Minister of Rites.

140

But I don't see the chief royal secretary?

141

I heard he has not arrived at court yet.

142

Chief Royal Secretary is absent from the morning audience?

143

I am having to report more and more incidents of Chief Royal Secretary to His Majesty, and that's quite a problem.

144

Your Majesty, it's time to go to the side palace.

145

But the chief royal secretary is still not here?

146

Yes.

147

Let's go.

148

Your Majesty, upon inspecting the Haeyu Certificates seized from the Ministry of Finance,

149

it's revealed no issues were found.

150

Using the perfectly fine Haeyu Certificates and hiding them to stir up trouble in the royal court

151

is an act for which the minster of finance should be punished.

152

Your Majesty, as the minister of finance,

153

I have only done my utmost to carry out my duty.

154

If it's a crime to exhaust myself to find corruption and embezzlement done by provincial governments,

155

I shall seek to vacate myself from my duty and retire to my hometown.

156

That cannot be.

157

Your Majesty, you must severely punish Minister of Finance, who is trying to escape his punishment with a nonsensical excuse.

158

Your Majesty, Minister of Justice is right.

159

It is only correct to severely punish the minister of finance to uphold the discipline of the court.

160

Your Majesty, please understand.

161

Please understand.

162

I shall...

163

Your Majesty, the chief royal secretary enters.

164

Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness for my late arrival.

165

Come on in. What's kept you delayed?

166

I was late due to finding evidence of embezzlement in Haeyu Certificate.

167

Evidence of embezzlement?

168

Your Majesty, there is no existence of such a thing.

169

Together with Chief Royal Secretary's crime of negligence to your morning audience,

170

please also charge him of making false accusations.

171

Your Majesty, whether the evidence of embezzlement is true or false,

172

may you hear it from the one who found the evidence personally.

173

Allow him in.

174

I greet Your Majesty.

175

Chief Royal Secretary, what are you doing?

176

How dare you bring in a slave into the audience of His Majesty and high ministers of the court.

177

Your Majesty! He has brought down the discipline of the court.

178

May you add this to the chief royal Secretary's crimes and send out this slave.

179

Though he is a government slave, he is also an official in the Ministry of Finance and found evidence of embezzlement in Haeyu Certificates.

180

He is well qualified to be in His Majesty's attendance.

181

Report to His Majesty.

182

Your Majesty, after looking through the Haeyu Certificates and the tribute ledgers,

183

I found that rice tributes were received at prices higher than market price

184

and evidence of profit from it.

185

Stop lying.

186

You claim the tributes were priced higher than market price but these tributes do not have a market price.

187

How could you know?

188

Your words are correct.

189

Hence it was difficult, and I had to convert each tribute good into price of rice

190

and compare that to market price.

191

What nonsense! That is not something one can do alone.

192

Your Majesty, I have recorded the embezzlement evidence

193

found in Haeyu Certificates and tribute ledgers here.

194

Listing of paper trail evidence of grains being sold at higher prices without authorization from the Royal Treasury which manages the Bureau of Royal Supply (of grains, for instance)

195

Minister of Finance's claim was right.

196

Your Majesty, though evidence has been shown, it is the Ministry of Finance's failure to carry out their duty properly

197

which allowed embezzlement by the provincial governments, and that is a fact that has not disappeared.

198

Hence, before you look into the embezzlement matter,

199

it shall be proper to hold Minister of Finance accountable for his crime first.

200

Your Majesty, Minister of General Affair's words are just an excuse.

201

He seized the Haeyu Certificates from the Ministry of Finance and exonerated provincial governments.

202

It is proper to hold Minister of General Affairs accountable for his crime.

203

Left State Minister is right.

204

I shall punish severely Minister of General Affairs as well as the provincial governments who committed embezzlement.

205

Your Majesty.

206

I apologize, but I have a plea.

207

Speak.

208

Last night, someone tried to kill me.

209

Who is it? Who hired you to kill Joo Ho Geol?

210

The son of Left State Minister.

211

I will give you ten-fold what he's paying you.

212

Go and say to him what I instruct you.

213

Your Majesty, someone tried to hire an assassin to murder me.

214

Please punish him.

215

Who is that man?

216

It was the son of the Left State Minister, Sin Yi Gyeom.

217

How dare you. Who do you think you are to lie in front of His Majesty?

218

The man who tried to murder me is currently being detained in the prison cells at the Royal Investigation Bureau.

219

Should I call for him?

220

Drag in Sin Yi Gyeom!

221

What is the punishment for a failed attempt at murder?

222

Just for harboring the intent of killing someone, he deserves execution,

223

but Sin Yi Gyeom is the son of a trusted servant and a sixth rank government official.

224

We may lay down his punishment, but if Left State Minister and Office of Censors were to collude with one another,

225

it's obvious they'll make it appear as though he were checking the king, and ask for amnesty.

226

You're saying they'll turn a blind eye to his crime?

227

That can't be!

228

If executing is too hard, then we should at least order him to be flogged until he excretes blood!

229

There is a way to humiliate Sin Yi Gyeom and teach him a good lesson.

230

What is that?

231

Munjeongjeon Palace

(Council Palace used by the king for state affairs)

232

Your Majesty!

233

Sixth rank officer of the Office of Censors, Sin Yi Gyeom, raise your head.

234

The crime of having intent to kill another

235

is a grievous crime that deserves to be dealt with according to the Royal Mandate for Punishments.

236

However, as your father is a distinguished retainer who is second to none in his services towards myself and the court,

237

and as Joo Ho Geol has not been harmed, I will forgive your crimes.

238

However, in order to give the world a warning against such attempts,

239

I will give the father an opportunity to punish the son.

240

Left State Minister Sin Chi Soo, step forward and give 100 whippings to your son Sin Yi Gyeom.

241

Father...

242

Your Majesty, how could you punish a distinguished retainer for his inability to morally train his household?

243

This is a humiliation like no other. I plead with you to withdraw your orders!

244

Your Majesty.

245

I would rather have you punish my son according to the Royal Mandate for Punishments.

246

Your Excellency, how can you refuse His Majesty's unending grace in such a way?

247

Proceed as ordered!

248

One!

249

Two!

250

Three!

251

Four!

252

Five!

253

Six!

254

Stand up straight.

255

Seven!

256

Seventeen!

257

My Lord, what will happen to me now?

258

My Lord!

259

260

You must have worked hard to calculate all that over one night.

261

What is this smell?

262

I apologize.

263

I was lying in between corpses laid out at the magistrate all night,

264

so even after washing myself, the odor isn't going away easily.

265

Your courage... is extraordinary.

266

I didn't muster up that courage from the beginning.

267

When Chief Royal Secretary first suggested the plan, I jumped up telling him to stop the nonsense.

268

If Officer Jang hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have dared.

269

The credit shouldn't be mine.

270

I just followed Chief Royal Secretary's orders.

271

Just in case, I suggested that he watch Joo Ho Geol's back.

272

I wish to release you from your status as a slave-servant and give you a government post.

273

What position would you like?

274

I would like the position of Arithmetic Tutor.

(A 9th rank officer part of the Ministry of Finance)

275

Arithmetic Tutor.

276

You could ask His Majesty for a slightly higher position.

277

Why are you asking for a mere 9th rank officer post?

278

You've chosen a good position.

279

If His Majesty were to assign you to a higher post, there would be some opposition from both the Ministry of Finance and the court.

280

But if you were to become an arithmetic tutor, you won't need to butt heads with higher ranking officers

281

and will just need to educate prospective Ministry of Finance officers,

282

which will be extremely helpful for the administration of the Dae Dong Policy in the future.

283

If Joo Ho Geol will educate people properly, we can administer the Dae Dong Policy even sooner.

284

Administer the Dae Dong Policy?

285

Your Majesty! Are you really only going to take rice as tax, from only those with land?

286

Well...

287

Yes. That has been a lifelong dream of mine.

288

I will do my very best with all my energy to educate the officers!

289

Queen.

290

Your Majesty, I heard that you were able to gather rice for the impoverished and have been waiting for you here.

291

I don't know how I can show my gratitude.

292

The one who should be showing gratitude is me. Thank you.

293

Thanks to you, I feel like I've acted like a king for the very first time.

294

What do you mean the first time? You're being too humble.

295

Just... a figure of speech.

296

Your Majesty, today's incident is nothing but pain deeply engraved into my very bones.

297

What pained you so?

298

All along, there have been those jealous of me who would slander me with false claims,

299

but yet, you have always trusted me and allowed me to manage the nation's affairs.

300

I wasn't able to repay your grace,

301

but have imposed on you and the court, and I know not how to atone for my sins.

302

If you had asked me to hand over my government position and my head,

303

it would be better than how I feel at this moment.

304

So what is it that you want to say?

305

Just because of a lowly slave-servant, not only I, but also my son

306

had to endure humiliation so severe that we can't hold our heads up.

307

I'm just worried that, perhaps, it will cause the dignity of your court to crumble.

308

If a state councilor like myself can have something like this happen,

309

who would be willing to loyally advise you and take care of the nation's affairs?

310

I plead with you, for the sake of the dignity of both the court and this nation,

311

today's humiliation should rightfully be rectified.

312

Left State Minister, I have something I must ask.

313

Yes, Your Majesty. Please ask.

314

With your mouth, you say you are a loyal servant,

315

then how do you turn a blind eye to the sighs and moans of the pain of our weak people?

316

How can you remain deaf to the resentful cries of the innocent?

317

Did you just say, a mere "lowly" slave-servant?

318

That dignity you so dearly wish to protect

319

is nothing more than the horns on an insect when compared to Joo Ho Geol's life.

320

If it is something that harms my people, no matter how small it may be,

321

I swear to the heavens that I will not let them pass lightly!

322

But, Your Majesty, that was—

323

I don't wish to hear this! Take your leave!

324

Yes, Your Majesty.

325

326

You must be heading out to collect donations.

327

I'll be back before it gets dark, so don't worry about preparing dinner.

328

That sounds good to me.

329

Have a safe trip.

330

It sounds like he's going to bring us something tasty again!

331

Let's go chop wood.

332

No. You're not allowed to stay on your own.

333

You need to be right in front of me for my mind to be at peace.

334

Come on. Let's go.

335

Why? What's wrong?

336

Right now?

337

What to do?

338

We need to chop a bit more wood.

339

Oh, alright. Go quick.

340

If you go that way, there's a cliff.

341

So go this way. This way.

342

Go on.

343

You can't go about your business on the roads where people are, alright?

344

Please, one coin.

345

Just one coin.

346

Please donate just one coin.

347

Thank you, My Lord.

348

Head over there and say you were sent by Hak San, and they'll give you a meal.

349

They'll prepare a nice—

350

Why would you...

351

I was told to wish you pleasant travel to the afterlife.

352

Let's go!

353

Sheesh, he could have woken me up and gone with me. Headed to the office first, now is it?

354

Lord! Are you alright?!

355

Lord.

356

What's wrong?

357

Hyungnim! Hyungnim!!

358

Hyungnim! Hyungnim!

359

Hyungnim.

360

I'm so stupid. I've got to go and call a physician.

361

No need.

362

Are you awake?

363

Hyungnim, why wouldn't I call a physician?

364

Nothing good will come out from hearing that the chief royal secretary,

365

who serves His Majesty directly, has been stabbed.

366

Jeong Saeng. Call Jeong Saeng.

367

Jeong... You mean Jeong Saeng Hyungnim?

368

Yes.

369

My Lord. We will send someone to get Jeong Saeng,

370

so please hold on for a bit.

371

You're saying that Chief Royal Secretary took a day off?

372

Yes, I was surprised as well.

373

But then again, he hasn't had a rest in a while.

374

It is time for him to rest a bit as well.

375

Well...

376

It seems like you didn't sleep very well all night. Your complexion...

377

I've felt a bit frustrated as of late,

378

so I haven't been able to fall asleep. That may be why.

379

Your Highness! Are you alright?

380

I wonder why this could be. I need to go see His Majesty.

381

Your Highness!

382

Seonpyeong Gate

383

Your Majesty.

384

I apologize.

385

No, what should you apologize about?

386

Don't worry. It's just a simple ache that will pass.

387

No need to say anything.

388

Just rest comfortably.

389

Why did the queen faint?

390

It seems she has been weakened in both heart and body due to various incidents of late.

391

But if she stays like this, things will only be worse,

392

so I wonder if she could go somewhere for a change of air.

393

Go somewhere?

394

Your Majesty, isn't it for Her Highness' health?

395

Why are you hesitating?

396

That may be so,

397

but I don't know if I can make that call without Chief Royal Secretary being here.

398

Even if he were here, he would agree.

399

It will be a good opportunity for both you

400

and Her Highness.

401

I understand.

402

Well done. How is the queen's condition?

403

All her energy and bloodways are blocked, and she is very weak.

404

How about this, then?

405

Is there any way the queen will be able to bear His Majesty's heir?

406

How could I dare to speak of such a thing so lightly?

407

- However.

- However?

408

If we maintain this state, it will be difficult.

409

Take your leave.

410

With the excuse that tax officers in Houjin are crossing our borders,

411

Ming is asking us for our military to help them.

412

The borders becoming chaotic is beneficial for us as well.

413

Even if they were to notice the soldiers after the king's death,

414

we can just tell them our forces are for the purpose of defending our country from Houjin.

415

These two failed the exams.

416

Did you get their oath in writing that they are willing to offer up their life once they enter here?

417

Yes. One is a butcher, and the other is a runaway slave.

418

They seek to be released from their status.

419

We will only let the one who holds this sword survive.

420

I won.

421

Well done.

422

You should have done that from the very beginning.

423

Then you would have avoided failing.

424

Queen Dowager, the queen is here to see you.

425

Let her in.

426

Sujeong Hall

(Empress Dowager's Palace)

427

His Majesty cherishes you very much, Queen.

428

Don't worry about the palace and take good care of yourself while you are away.

429

I will make a full recovery and return to support His Majesty, so do not worry.

430

Of course.

431

Go on and drink. The tea will get cold.

444

Who is escorting the queen?

445

Other than the reserved guards to protect His Majesty, I sent the elites to escort her, so don't worry.

446

Good work.

447

My Lord, when will you tell His Majesty about your condition?

448

I am not going to tell him.

449

You must find the person who tried to kill you and bring him to justice.

450

If he really wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have sent those beggars.

451

I am sure he has a different intention.

452

If I say it carelessly and reveal it, it'll cause chaos in the court and

453

that'll be just what the culprit wants.

454

So you must not tell this to His Majesty.

455

Understand?

456

Yes, My Lord.

457

Aren't they hazelnuts?

458

If you bite down on a hazelnut, the goblin that protects the buildings

459

will be startled by the sound and will grant you a wish.

460

I came to be with you.

461

We laugh together. We cry together.

462

I will endure it with you, so please don't give up on your will.

463

Your Majesty, what did you wish for?

464

Seeing you smile big and bright,

465

I'd love to see it once.

466

That what I wished for.

467

I see you with my eyes, so it would seem I see you with my heart as well.

468

The weather is quite chilly, so why don't you go inside now?

469

Ae Yeong, get ready to go back tomorrow.

470

Excuse me?

471

We've only stayed for three days and you want to go back already?

472

Your complexion has only gotten brighter now, how about we stay a little longer?

473

I am feeling much better.

474

You heard the physician say I am making a fast recovery.

475

But still...

476

I think I must return to the palace to make a complete recovery.

477

Do you miss him already?

478

I am getting energized just by thinking about going back to the palace.

479

When is Chief Royal Secretary coming?

480

Not sure.

481

He said he is taking five days off, so I guess he'll be off all five days.

482

You still haven't heard any news about Dal Rae?

483

No.

484

Actually, that...

485

I couldn't deliver the letter at the time.

486

Why did you not tell me until now?

487

Actually the brothel you asked me to deliver the letter to,

488

the chief royal secretary lives there.

489

The chief royal secretary?

490

Yes.

491

I think it'll be difficult for a while.

492

I'll go there myself.

493

Your Majesty.

494

Why not just give it up?

495

I'm her brother. Shouldn't I at least have news of my sister?

496

I'll come right back after hearing that she's alright.

497

I understand. I'll get ready.

498

I'll go alone.

499

It's cumbersome if you come with me and it'll only draw attention.

500

I can't.

501

Don't worry. I'll be quick like the wind.

502

This can't be...

503

Your Majesty, what brings you here?

504

You didn't come alone, did you?

505

That is...

506

I just came out for a short while.

507

By chance, did you come to see Chief Royal Secretary?

508

No.

509

I just came out to watch the people enjoying the Double Ninth Festival.

510

Your Majesty, let me escort you.

511

Okay, you may.

512

It's quite busy outside.

513

Is something happening?

514

It's the Double Ninth Festival. It seems there's a party.

515

I see it's that time already.

516

Your Highness, do you remember?

517

When we were young, we all made flower pancakes and went to the back hill to play on Double Ninth Day.

518

Of course, I remember.

519

It was the first time you got drunk on chrysanthemum liquor, wasn't it?

520

It was quite fun then.

521

Your Highness, how about if we go there and have a quick look?

522

Please, Your Highness. We don't know when we can come out again.

523

Very briefly, please.

524

I understand.

525

Stop.

526

Because it's the Double Ninth Festival, everyone's so excited. It's good to see.

527

Your Majesty, I'm nervous that I'm your only escort.

528

I think it would be best to return to the palace as soon as possible.

529

I feel very assured that you are here though.

530

I don't know how to react hearing those words.

531

Children, let's let our wishes fly. Write down your wishes.

532

I want to eat every day.

533

I want to eat meat side dishes.

534

Meat

535

That looks like fun. Shall we also write down our wishes and let them fly?

536

My apologies, but I don't have any wishes to ask for.

537

You have no wishes?

538

Is that possible?

539

Don't be like that and just tell me.

540

What's your wish?

541

It's not a wish.

542

But I do have one thing in mind.

543

Then, what is it?

544

Like the hyungnim who left this world while protecting you during the last rebellion,

545

I wish to dedicate my life and loyalty to protecting Your Majesty

546

and to die honorably.

547

Dedicating your loyalty and dying.

548

That's a good and magnificent deed.

549

But for me, instead of you dying magnificently for my sake,

550

for your sake,

551

if you were to live for what you want would be better.

552

Your Majesty.

553

Ah, yes.

554

I'm imagining things again.

555

Your Majesty.

556

Is it really you?

557

Have you been well, Your Majesty?

558

I've been well.

559

My Queen, you should have rested longer. Why are you out so soon?

560

Three days are enough.

561

If it were any longer, I felt like I would fall ill so I rushed out.

562

Are you here to see the people of the capital?

563

Yes! I heard that there will be festivities for the Double Ninth Festival,

564

so I stopped by to see for a moment.

565

Now that we've met up like this, we can return to the palace together.

566

Your Majesty.

567

Can't we stay a bit longer before returning?

568

Just a little bit will do.

569

I can't be either a bird soaring high in the heavens or a fish swimming in the deep waters

570

since we don't know when we can come out again.

571

Can't we?

572

Sounds good.

573

Dal Rae!

574

Dal Rae!

575

Monk! Monk!

576

Have you seen my Dal Rae?

577

She was definitely here not that long ago.

578

I think I know where Dal Rae is.

579

Let's go to the capital.

580

Yes.

581

The capital, you say?

582

Dal Rae!

583

Are you the new concubine that His Majesty selected?

584

Let's see that face, face, face!

585

Let's see that face!

586

Your Highness, why are you doing this to me?

587

Seon Hwa Dang, you wench!

588

Get away from His Majesty this instant!

589

How dare you put your butt there?

590

The queen is killing me!

591

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

592

Your Majesty!

593

Why are you like this?

594

I'm going to tell His Majesty!

595

Why are you doing this?

596

This bitch of a queen is this evil and full of jealousy,

597

so the heavens have been angered and the country is becoming more and more chaotic.

598

Isn't that right?

599

Take this, take this.

600

It's red beans, enough to boil away ghosts.

601

Take that, you wench!

602

That's right, you wench!

603

Where did His Majesty go?

604

He was here just a moment ago!

605

Your Majesty, what's wrong?

606

I couldn't keep you there any longer.

607

I just thought we had to go somewhere with no one.

608

I'm sorry.

609

It's because I am imperfect. Why are you apologizing?

610

Your Majesty, I'm fine.

611

I'm just blissful that I am here with you

612

as if I'm in a dream.

613

If this is a dream. If it indeed is a dream,

614

then no matter what I do, it won't be a sin.

615

Is that not so?

616

Your Majesty.

617

Let's go.

618

Orabeoni (Older brother - mouthed).

619

Orabeoni.

620

Orabeoni!

621

Orabeoni!

622

Orabeoni!

623

The Crowned Clown

626

He has disappeared.

627

Have you forgotten formalities already?

628

There is someone who risked his life after believing me.

629

If I don't go, he will die in His Majesty's hands.

630

Drag him to the mountains and throw him to the tigers to be eaten.

631

Order the royal astronomy observers to make tomorrow the day for the queen and I to share her sleeping quarters.

632

Although you may wander from time to time, wander over to me.

633

I'll always be there at the end of your road.

634

It's already been decided where I have to go.

635

I'll return to the palace.
